Thanks. This should work -- it does for me. The mechanism for
the virt board is via a GPIO line which is identified as the
power-off mechanism in the device tree or ACPI table which QEMU
passes to the guest. You're probably missing something from
your guest kernel config which is needed for this. I'm
pretty sure the aarch64 defconfig works.

Check you have CONFIG_GPIO_PL061 enabled. That's definitely
necessary but may not be sufficient (perhaps also
CONFIG_KEYBOARD_GPIO is required, not sure about that one).
